CHÉLANIE BEAUDIN-QUINTIN

Visual artist and filmmaker, Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin creates dance films, virtual reality experiences, fiction, and video installations. Her practice intersects dance, cinema, and anthropology to explore the individual and collective body. She delves into spaces of exchange and cohabitation, and our animistic behavior. Through dance and film, she seeks to create a new dramaturgy whose narrative form, departing from classical codes, appears more sensory and embodied. She also created videos for two productions by director Marie-Ève Milot, written by Nathalie Doummar, namely the plays Sissi, presented at La petite Licorne in 2019, and more recently Mama, presented at Théâtre Duceppe in 2022 (reprised in July 2023). Her first virtual reality film, 21 Gun Salute, also involved choreographic work and was presented at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma in 2020. Her work has been exhibited in several exhibitions and events in Quebec, Toronto, and internationally, including Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the United States.
